Rik Roberts with a piece about looking in both
directions before crossing the road.
A twisted metaphor but somewhat accurate.
I like this one, creative and somewhat hopeful.
Did I mention a bit twisted as well?
Did just then, so there…

The Overly Complicated Coffee Order
Rhett and Link with a novel way with which to purloin funds.
I’m a tea man myself, the thought of a five dollar cup of
bean juice confuses me, in a paper cup no less.
Orange Pekoe, plain, served in a white ceramic mug.
No surprises, no disappointments.
In the cup anyway…
Saves Time…

Please Don’t Touch Me
Jim Gaffigan with a piece about being rubbed the wrong way.
Kinda.
He doesn’t seem to care much for massages.
I understand his point of view here, it’s a personal issue of
sorts, such intimacy with a stranger takes a bit to get used to.
Personally I love being pawed like a salmon on Take a
Grizzly to Lunch Day, I find it quite invigorating.
I look forward to my monthly massage therapy so much that I
show up at the session already oiled up, wearing nothing but
a towel and a smile.
Gotta go easy on the lube though, first time I went too heavy,
slid into the drivers side and flew right out the passenger window.
Wouldn’t have been too bad had my towel not stayed in the car.
After a brief explanation the charges were dropped…
Starting With the Little Toe…

Makin’ a Mess of Commercial Success
This is a special piece for me, both to post
and to play on the show.
It’s a very funny song written by Shel Silverstein
and sung by Bob Gibson with Shel doing
commentary in the background.
Off of the Makin’ a Mess of Commercial Success
recording from 1995, it parodies the old “Taste Great,
Less Filling!” beer commercials that appeared on
television for quite a while.
Bob was was diagnosed with a rare degenerative
disease and was in the later stages of it when he
recorded that album, he was essentially dying
when he, Shel, and a gang of other well established
like minded artists got together to record it.
Mr. Gibson was considered to be a top notch
performer back in the 1950’s and 60’s, rivaling
that of Bob Dylan and other folk superstars of the time.
I play a lot of his material on the show, especially the
stuff he did by and with Shel Silverstein.
Great lyrics, even funnier if you can remember those
goofy beer commercials…
And I Do Thank You!

Shaun of the Dead…Records!
This is one of my favorite scenes from that
gloriously over the top 2004 zombie flick.
Some great lines here, the humor is wonderful.
Which records would YOU part with?
Gotta love it…
I Knew That…I Think
